Seasonal Affective Disorder early spring symptoms of hyperness then irritability but no mania? |
I have been diagnosed with SAD and ADD for many years. I find that I have uncomfortable symptoms with the changing of ANY season (though crippling fatigue with depression severe in winter). My body is super sensitive and I have migraines and mood swings even if the weather changes are due to a brief storm. Has any one else had experience with yoyo-ing from very happy and hyper to PMS irritable in March when spring is just starting (near DC on the eastern shore)? I have heard of spring setting off Mania but I have never had a true manic episode just extra mood swingy? I liken it to a month long episode of PMS. I have a lot of very similar symptoms. In the winter in a temperate climate in Australia I had SAD and was very depressed. Then I moved to the tropics and became photophobic, couldn't stand the glare of the light and became highly anxious. I fixed the SAD by using homemade blue LED light glasses which I wore for an hour a day, shining blue led lights into my eyes. When I moved to the tropics, my problem was too much blue light and I coped with the added anxiety by using red led lights which instantly calmed me and made me feel very blissful. Are you sure that you have been correctly diagnosed? It sounds to me that you may have bipolar disorder. It can sometimes overlap with seasonal affective disorder but the treatment can be very different. SAD is a pretty rough thing to have. it can cause many things to go hair wire in your boby. to help with some of the affects try getting a UV light to sit under during winter months. the whole spring thing you might want to talk to your doctor and meds might come into place. you are not bipolar. I have been feeling weird lately and i realized its due to the change in time and season. Dont worry it will pass but if you see your self changing too frequently in mood than seek some help. |
